Credentials aside, forced induction is not rocket science. . .especially if you don't get into reprogramming, which DASC avoids. It's basically plumbing, and I
think most of the plumbing, other than the manifold, can be fabbed up with silicone tubing.
OTOH, a couple of other vendors have had trouble bringing a SC kit for this motor to market, and Miller had difficulty with a AFM/MAF swap. So. . .I think this motor has 'issues' that may make an off-the-shelf proven solution worth the $ for the time and dyno $ you would save in trying to get a custom solution to run well.
Also, in case it's not clear, my point in the post above about Miller bailing after spending $6k on research is that I doubt they would have quit if they thought folks were lined up by the hundreds to buy kits for this motor. I think lack of demand is the reason for DASC having the market(at least the US market) to itself, not unassailable superiority.
That said, I'm not knocking DASC. I think it's a fair deal for ~$3k, considering that similar kits from Europe are ~$5k.

silly fast.
